Did my 2016 gt premium with 20" foundry wheels come with a performance pack suspension option?

I recently purchased a 2016 blue gt premium. It came with the 20" foundry wheels as an option. Does my car also have a performance package suspension upgrade or would this have ben a separate option?

No it did not. They are mutually exclusive from the factory.

Thanks. I am considering upgrading to the fp Track Handling suspension and wanted to know if everything under my car is stock.

I have a 2016 20" wheel car also. They do have the upper and lower K brace from the performance pack, but other than that it's all base suspension. Having the upper K brace already installed makes installing a strut tower brace much easier.

Ease of install for the STB is exactly the same either way with 4 bolts, just makes it more effective as the cowl brace triangulates it. I can't remember if the 20" wheel cars also come with the firewall extension brace right now though, but that is another component of the PP in that area.

Thanks, this makes it clear. I am thinking about installing a strut tower brace over the winter.

Yeah the 20" package also gives you the firewall extension brace. Verified on my own car.

Yeah, true. It's just one of those things that I wouldn't add one without the other, especially since the cowl brace is such a cheap part.

Yeah it's good that you guys have that. The extension brace is a hidden gem that makes the whole tower brace and K brace work.
